RIP Sir Frank Williams
Just been flashed up on my BBC News app notifications that he crossed the final finish line today at 79 years old after a short stay in hospital.

Sir Frank Williams: Formula 1 team founder dies aged 79 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/59453378 Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

A stunning partnership with Patrick Head and to get back in the game and win big after his accident was simply mind blowing..........
RIP

That’s very sad news, I used to work on his aircraft at Kiddlington but never got to meet him.

Very sad, i hope that they show the documentary film about him again soon. Well worth a watch.

Ironically i was watching the Bruce McLaren documentary that i had recorded recently when the message popped up on my phone.

Two gentleman living life not just in the fast lane but also during a time that that not only will never be repeated but the hopes, dreams and personal innovations that they were blessed with is being taken away in the times we are living in today.

The best thing i like is watching the sleeves rolled up, pen and paper, try it and see approach to engineering, not some engineer in smart trousers and pressed tea shirt working on a CAD drawing.

The people aren't here but the names live on........
